The article comments on the preservation of Niagara. Any citizen knows two things about Niagara: first, that there is a great waterfall there, and second that a man's pockets will be emptied more quickly there than anywhere else. The first impression of the traveler arriving at Niagara is profound astonishment that so many distinct and separate sights with corresponding fees can have been found in any one place. However, Niagara is being destroyed as a summer resort. It has long since ceased to be a place where people stay for a week or more, and it is now being given up to second-class tourists, and excursionists who are brought by the car-load.
